P0748 Acura Pressure Control Solenoid A Circuit System Fault

Possible causes

– Dirty transmission fluid
– Low transmission fluid level
– Faulty line pressure solenoid valve ‘A’
– Line pressure solenoid valve ‘A’ harness is open or shorted
– Line pressure solenoid valve ‘A’ circuit poor electrical connection

Tech description

When the a transmission solenoid is stuck on, in most cases the problem is not the electrical part of the solenoid; the problem is foreign material obstructing the mechanical function of the solenoid or the flow of the fluid through the transmission valve body. If the transmission fluid is very dirty, it is recommend changing the transmission fluid and if possible removing the transmission pan for further diagnosis. Excessive debris or metal particles on the transmission pan could be an indication that there is a transmission mechanical failure and that the transmission will need to be rebuilt or replaced.

What about the obd code?

Engine Control Module (ECM) detectes an open or shorted condition on the solenoid circuit

Symptoms

– Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
– Transmission shift shock
